Course Description:

Hidden in everyday foods are the causes of a surprising range of health problems: infertility, menstrual cramps, weight gain, hair loss, breast and prostate cancer, hot flashes, and much more. All of these conditions have one thing in common: they are fueled by hormones that are hiding in foods or are influenced by the foods we eat. This presentation will provide information on the role of nutrition in insulin sensitivity and type 2 diabetes. Nutrition interventions for vasomotor symptoms of menopause and nutritional changes in dysmenorrhea and endometriosis will also be discussed.
